Governor Hogan PURPOSELY Destroying ALL Businesses In The State Of Maryland
I don't care who you are, we have absolutely struggled to no end to rebuild my business. We have experienced so many ups and downs over the past six months, financially and mentally.
Even with all the challenges we have faced we had a RECORD weekend last weekend. We have the best disinfectant money can buy and we have religiously scrubbed down our surfaces and followed every rule and guideline assuring we and our customers are in a very safe and clean environment.
Today Governor Hogan announced the wearing of masks indoors and outdoors. So you have to wear a mask in a pool? When it's 105 degrees outside you have to wear a mask? Finally,
Bars/restaurants are of the lowest risks. Why, because we're following the rules!
Governor Hogan does NOT want President Trump and those who support him rebuild this economy. He's no Republican, he's a piece of sh!t! RECORD numbers! I've waited over a yeah and a half to hit these kind of numbers and I'm confident other bars/restaurants are experiencing the same. WE THE PEOPLE want to get out. We want to enjoy our lives. Hogan wants us sheltered, depressed, broke and most important he wants us DEPENDENT on the new socialist America.
While I do NOT support these radicals destroying our cities and monuments, something has to give. We need our President to step in and save all of us. When you tie up hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars into a business and one jackass changes the rules on the lowest percentage of risky businesses, something has to give.
What say you now people. I will swing my doors this weekend and we will follow the rules. We will remain open till 2 AM, unlike most other bars closing at 9 and 10 PM. The virus is NOT stronger after 10 PM, duh! We will have a band this weekend and guess what, even though Bike Week is cancelled I will still host Bike Week and we will have bands. If you enjoy frozen drinks, come see Dawn. She makes the best you've ever had!

NFL will reportedly lose $5.5 billion if games are played in empty stadiums
If NFL teams play games without fans in the stands in 2020, the league could lose $5.5 billion, according Forbes’ Mike Ozanian.
That figure is based on stadium revenue from the 2018 season, according to Forbes.
The NFL would lose $5.5 billion of stadium revenue (the sum of tickets, concessions, sponsors, parking and team stores) — or 38% of its total revenue — based on figures for the 2018 season (ranking below). But the impact on the individual teams would vary greatly. For example, the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots would lose over half their total revenue while the Buffalo Bills, the Tennessee Titans and the Cincinnati Bengals would lose less than one-third.

Hogan: Trump Wasted Months ‘Downplaying the Virus’
Monday on CNN, Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) said President Donald Trump wasted the early months of the coronavirus pandemic not taking it seriously.
Hogan said, “I’ve been really proud of the governors on both sides of the aisle for really stepping up and taking this pandemic seriously. I talk about that in the book. And I’m not just out trying to criticize the president, but I talk about the early stages of the pandemic when he wasn’t taking it seriously enough.?”

NFL End Zones Will Read “End Racism” and “It Takes All of Us” in Home Openers — Along with Black National Anthem
This fall the NFL will play the black national anthem before every week 1 game.
According to Grand Old Partisanthe black national anthem was written by James Weldon Johnson wrote the poem Lift Every Voice and Sing to honor Republican activist Booker T. Washington when the civil rights leader visited his school. His brother later set the words to music, resulting in what became known as the ‘Negro National Anthem’.
The NFL will play that along with the US National Anthem at games.
But the NFL will go even further.
The league will also paint “end racism” and “it takes all of us” in the end zones.

Stop Fracked Gas Pipeline on Maryland Eastern Shore
The Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (ESNG) wants to build 19+ miles of new pipeline to carry fracked gas from Delaware through Maryland. The pipeline is already under construction in Delaware to carry gas from that state into Maryland. The seven miles of pipeline proposed for Maryland would supply concentrated animal feeding operations, businesses, and residential areas. The two “anchor” customers for gas delivery are the Eastern Correctional Institution (ECI) and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) in Somerset County. If built, the Del-Mar pipeline would trigger another pipeline to connect the prison to the university. The public has been consistently left in the dark by the Hogan Administration when it comes to these dangerous projects. But we do know that these pipelines would cross farms, forests, and countless waterways that feed into the Chesapeake Bay. They would also worsen global warming, bringing more sea-level rise to the already vulnerable tidal regions of the Eastern Shore.
Somerset County officials are advocating that the pipeline be built, citing badly needed economic development. However, they appear to have not considered renewable energy options. The cost to taxpayers for the pipeline will be approximately $500 million, and the project will hamper our state goals to be utilizing 50% renewable energy by 2030. At a time when the Maryland state budget is so tight, it is perplexing why Gov. Hogan would not want to pursue less expensive energy alternatives. In addition, it is disturbing that although Marylanders have made it clear that they want to pursue cleaner, renewable energy by passing the Clean Energy Jobs Act in 2019, Gov. Hogan is still relying on fossil fuels.

Rutgers University Declares Grammar 'Racist'
If you’re looking for peak idiocy from academic institutions that are falling all over themselves to kowtow to the mob’s notions of “social justice,” look no further.
The English Department at Rutgers University has declared that proper use of grammar is a hidden form of racism because it disadvantages students of “multilingual, non-standard ‘academic’ English backgrounds.”
Grammar is rather boring, so the department is going to sex it up with all sorts of fascinating additions.
The “critical grammar” approach challenges the standard academic form of the English language in favor of a more inclusive writing experience. The curriculum puts an emphasis on the variability of the English language instead of accuracy.“This approach challenges the familiar dogma that writing instruction should limit emphasis on grammar/sentence-level issues so as to not put students from multilingual, non-standard ‘academic’ English backgrounds at a disadvantage,” Walkowitz said. “Instead, it encourages students to develop a critical awareness of the variety of choices available to them [with] regard to micro-level issues in order to empower them and equip them to push against biases based on ‘written’ accents.”
“Variability instead of accuracy” means incorrect usage of grammatical norms. It’s nice that someone speaks a foreign language, but isn’t the whole point of teaching proper grammar teaching foreigners the proper way to speak English?
A Viewer Writes: Salisbury Police Dept, double standards
This angers me with Salisbury Police Department.
Earlier this year, my son was traveling to work. His first week on his first "real" job. His beater car a Celica 1996 broke down (6:30 AM) on Riverside Dr just past Collage Ave as you are heading into town.
He called me and I picked him up to get another vehicle to take him to work.
I get a call from Salisbury P. D.within an hour. They advised me that I need to remove this car right now or it will be towed.
My son was at his new job and I was in the middle of doing my my job, so I could not take my car trailer to pick it up until 2 hours later.
Salisbury P. D. mind you, they were courteous, said that it must be towed IMMEDIATELY.
There was nothing I could do, so they had it towed at a $165 expense to me.
Last night, while traveling on Riverside Dr., we saw a disabled vehicle in the exact same location, exact same direction of travel, exact same side of the road as where my son's car broke down.
My son called Salisbury P.D. to inform them of a vehicle broke down and to advise them as per "their policy" that they wanted to remove disabled vehicles IMMEDIATELY from Riverside Dr.
They advised my son that they GAVE THIS VEHICLE OWNER 48 HOUR TO REMOVE THEIR VEHICLE.
My question is, with this inconsistency from Salisbury P. D. where do I go to get back my $165 tow expense that I could have taken care of within 2 hours not 48 hour?
Every Player Took A Knee During Thursday's NBA Game
Professional sports were put on hold earlier this year as the Wuhan coronavirus made its way over from China. The silver lining of it all was that at least patriotic Americans wouldn't have to suffer through millionaire athletes disrespecting the country that made their decadent lifestyles possible by kneeling every time the national anthem came on. Well, that silver lining has ended as professional sports are now returning and more ungrateful players than ever are taking a knee in order to show their disdain for the country.
The first game of the NBA returned on Thursday in a matchup between the Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans. Every player, coach, and even the referee took a knee as the national anthem began to play. The players wore shirts with the words "Black Lives Matter" emblazoned on the front.

Golf and Games Family Park in Memphis was forced to change its guest policy
A Tennessee mini-golf center was the scene of mayhem on Saturday, after a reported 300 to 400 teenagers began destroying the establishment because management reportedly refused to issue refunds for machines that stopped working.
According to local outlets, parents had dropped off large groups of teens at the family play place without supervision, violating coronavirus orders banning mass gatherings.
Issues began at Golf and Games Family Park in Memphis, Tenn., Saturday evening when some machines began swallowing money. The staff at the center was unable to offer refunds at the time, thus prompting all-out chaos, FOX 8 reported.

WNBA Players Walk Off The Court During National Anthem
The WNBA’s season began Saturday with players from the Seattle Storm and New York Liberty walking off the court as the national anthem played, in a message for racial justice as protests around the country continue. The players jointly then dedicated 26 seconds of silence and the entire season to Breonna Taylor.
“We are dedicating this season to Breonna Taylor — an outstanding EMT who was murdered over 130 days ago in her home,” Layshia Clarendon, a player for New York Liberty said before the game began. Taylor was shot and killed by Louisville Metro police after they entered her Kentucky home in March.
Clarendon also said the season would be dedicated to the “Say Her Name Campaign — a campaign committed to saying the names and fighting for justice for Black women” who are “so often forgotten in this fight for justice.”

This Is Big!
On Wednesday Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Google’s Sundar Pichai and Apple’s Tim Cook testified before Congress in the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust.
